So we watch as one analyst gives a strong buy recommendation and the price rises then the next analyst gets their turn (and their name in the news) and they do a dooms day downground.

Repeat and spin.....Price goes up and down....

It seems pretty obvious to me that they are making gobs of money off this as they manipulate the market. I guess that is not illegal if you work in the financial industry. It is just good business and customer service (for their clients).
